The Twang release what can only be described as their
hugely anticipated debut album, ‘Love It When I Feel Like This’ on June
4th. Recorded with long term producer Gavin Monahan at his Magic Garden
Studios in Wolverhampton and mixed by Mark ‘Spike’ Stent at Olympic
Studios, ‘Love It When I Feel Like This’ follows their debut single,
‘Wide Awake’ which crashed into the UK charts at number 15.
It
has been an amazing journey for a band that were only signed in
December of last year to this point and the album buzzes with the
excitement of the last six months as much as the care and attention
that a hard five year push to this point brings.
As with all
‘overnight successes’ The Twang are not the product of six months work.
When guitarist Stu Hartland became the last to join two years ago, the
band had already put in three years of demoing, gigging, chasing Noel
Gallagher across the Glastonbury fields to try and give him a demo. It
is testament to their belief in themselves that they got this far.
The
debut album brings together the best of their work in those two years,
from the full on dance inflected grooves of ‘Ice Cream Sundae’ and
‘Loosely Dancing’ to the confessionals of ‘Wide Awake’ and ‘Got Me
Sussed’, Phil Etheridge’s knack of defining universal experiences with
humour and insight to the fore throughout. Fusing their well documented
love of guitar music from Oasis through to the current time with their
equal love of dance music from an adolescence spent clubbing, the album
draws on a catalogue of genres over its eleven tracks.
In the
six months since their debut London gig, much has been written about
The Twang. They are lads, they are ‘wild’, they are the new spirit of
rock ‘n’ roll. All of which have some truth but to really understand
The Twang listen to ‘Don’t Wait Up’ and then ‘Got Me Sussed’ or ‘The
Neighbour’ and ‘Either Way’. These songs are not caricatures of laddish
life but documents of the excess and regret, the highs and lows of
normal life. When you’ve “spent the shopping money” as “a couple turned
into ten” (‘Don’t Wait Up’), then it’s inevitable that the hammer will
fall and you admit that, “I did it to myself so I shouldn’t complain”
(‘Got Me Sussed’).
The Twang are a gang but they’re a
hardworking gang, they’re from the normal life lived in towns and
cities across the country but they want more and they are getting it.
Most importantly, they’ve achieved their initial goal; to make this
record and document the world as they see it, the world as they, and
their friends (who are a huge part of this story and this album), live
it. They are the most talked about band of this year but they are also
one of the brightest hopes to emerge from the UK in years. As they say
themselves on album (and live set closer) ‘Cloudy Room’, “there’s no
going back from here”.PLEASE LOOK IN OUR SHOP ON E-BAY
